This book presents original data from an interdisciplinary and participatory research project, serving as a historical record of the challenges faced by young people during the greatest health crisis of the past century. The data were collected through reflective and semi-direct interviews and workshops with young people and representatives of public organisations and civil society involved in policies for childhood and youth. More than just documenting losses and impacts, this work encourages reflection on the systemic damages suffered by this population in the context of an emerging crisis such as COVID-19. At the same time, it highlights the strength and resilience of youth, emphasising their innovative potential and capacity for action in the face of adversity. By questioning the generational position of children and young people living in peripheral territories, the study sought to amplify the voices of a population often rendered invisible not only by adult-centrism, but also by social inequalities that shape and deepen disparities in times of crisis. The book challenges essentialist views of these individuals through accounts of local experiences, underscoring the plurality of their trajectories and perspectives while also reaffirming social participation as a fundamental strategy for adaptation and crisis response in the contemporary world.
